Colligo Takes Immediate, Out-of-Box Messaging & File Transfer to Motion Computing’s New M1200 Tablet PC

Colligo’s “instant network” software to provide Motion M1200 Tablet PC customers with instant, device-to-device messaging and file sharing over embedded WLAN technology

VANCOUVER, BC, Canada – November 20, 2002 – Colligo Networks, Inc., a provider of ultra-portable collaborative messaging software, and Motion Computing, an innovator in ultra-mobile computing and wireless communications, have partnered to deliver Colligo™ Personal Edition on the new Motion M1200 Tablet PCs shipping later this month. Recently demonstrated by Microsoft at their exclusive Tablet PC launch event in New York, Colligo Personal Edition provides instant file exchange and private messaging directly between mobile professionals using their WLAN-enabled M1200s without the need for central access points, servers, or Internet connections. Tablet PC users (and users of other Windows-based mobile devices) gain productivity and convenience as soon as they power on their device while reducing the frustration normally associated with alternative communication methods such as finding an Internet connection, one-to-one infrared beaming, or waiting to send email later.

Continuing with its successful mobile device manufacturer partnering, Colligo’s innovative “instant network” solution helps Motion provide its customers with immediate, out-of-box use and application for their new Tablet PC’s embedded WLAN technology. Colligo provides easy-to-use, lightweight personal and workgroup productivity solutions constructed around a patent-pending core of dynamic discovery of nearby people and resources. This means servers and corporate networks aren’t required for users to instantly and easily communicate and exchange information with those around them. Personal Edition is a must-have utility for individuals looking to quickly and easily exchange files and privately message each other. Workgroup Edition, also available through Motion joint marketing and sales promotions with Colligo, is a unique productivity tool for workgroups on the go that need to securely communicate, exchange information, share resources, and synchronize data – all without a server.

“The Motion M1200 Tablet PC combines the best industry hardware and wireless technology in an ultra-mobile form factor with Microsoft’s powerful new operating system,” said Scott Eckert, CEO, Motion Computing. “Integrating all the functionality with a spacious 12.1” display , weighing less than 3 lbs. and Colligo’s Personal Edition, means Motion customers will benefit from ‘instant-on’ personal productivity where-ever they are.”

“Colligo’s unique peer-to-peer ‘instant network’ solutions are a natural fit for the highly mobile Tablet PC form factor as proven by Microsoft’s on-stage demonstration of Workgroup Edition at the recent New York launch,” said Barry Jinks, President and CEO, Colligo Networks. “To have our applications included and associated with a top Tablet PC vendor like Motion Computing validates the need for on-the-fly messaging and resource sharing for individuals and workgroups on the go.”

Colligo Personal Edition is for any mobile professional using a Tablet PC (or other Windows or Pocket PC device) that needs to quickly and easily communicate or work with somebody nearby including when running into a co-worker in the hall or coming together in a meeting room. No need to send emails later or disrupt the flow of a meeting. Colligo Workgroup Edition enhances workgroup productivity and offers SSL-based data encryption, user authentication, folder and printer sharing, and increases the maximum number of users to 50. It’s for workgroups on the go such as project, consultant, sales, financial, or legal teams that need to be more productive together without the hassle and time normally needed for IT departments to provide remote office connections or to build “mini-LANs” in the field. With either product, M1200 users can communicate with other Tablet PCs, desktops, notebooks, and handhelds running the Colligo client.
